A website's success is determined not just by how it looks, but "how it operates."Foundational SEO: Images and Site Speed• Website Speed: A fast-loading website is paramount for user experience across all devices (desktop, mobile, tablet).• Image Compression: Before uploading, all images should be compressed using a tool like compressor.io. Large image files significantly slow down page load times. ◦ An example was given: 50 products, each with 5 variations and a 5MB image size, quickly compounds into a massive data load that cripples site speed (5MB x 5 variations x 50 products).• Image File Naming: File names must be descriptive and keyword-rich. A file named red-cotton-socks.jpg provides algorithmic context, whereas photo-123.jpeg has "no context... no value... no search traffic."• Alternative Text (Alt Text): SEO-optimized alt text is crucial. It describes the image for screen readers (improving accessibility) and for search engines, providing additional contextual relevance for keywords.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Content as a Cornerstone of AttractionThe primary method for optimizing a site and attracting visitors is to create high-value content.• The Visitor Journey: The goal is to convert visitors into readers, then into "clickers," and finally into "action takers."• Pre-Purchase Content Strategy: For a startup or a new product launch (e.g., a membership program), the strategy should focus on building infrastructure and anticipation. ◦ Create content that educates the audience on the program before it launches. ◦ Examples include offering a quiz, a survey, a checklist, or an onboarding guide in exchange for an email signup.• Multi-Format Content: A powerful strategy involves creating content in multiple formats. ◦ Record a podcast discussing a topic, then transcribe it into a full blog post. ◦ This provides two links and two formats (audio and text) on the same topic, doubling the online footprint. Over two and a half months, this can result in 20 distinct pieces of information online.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Evolution of Search: From Ranking to Brand MentionsThe traditional concept of "ranking" on Google is becoming outdated.• Google recently removed pagination parameters (the num=100 parameter), making it harder to appear on subsequent search pages and limiting how AI servers scrape data.• The new paradigm is to focus on earning brand mentions on AI platforms like ChatGPT.• This is achieved by providing comprehensive, evidence-backed content in multiple formats (text, audio, video). A competitor with a blog, podcast, and video on a topic will have a significant advantage over one with just a blog.Tune in for more of these search engine marketing insights and start monetizing your Shopify SEO or WordPress SEO efforts today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    There have been reports of a significant decline in the number of Chinese sellers on Amazon, according to SellerSnooper and Marketplace Pulse, but their disappearance is not that simple. Dave dives into why Chinese sellers are disappearing from Amazon and where they went. Today's episode is sponsored by Sellerboard.

Just go to sellerboard.com/ecomcrew and get clarity on your margins today. Back in 2022, we did a report on how many Chinese sellers there are on Amazon. The number was up  to 55%.  Granted that this was back in 2022, you'd expect the number of Chinese Sellers to increase.  As of October 2025, the number has drastically lowered to ~30%.  This would normally be cause for celebration but the answer isn't that simple.  A lot of Chinese sellers have been opening up US LLCs to dodge paying taxes in China, where they aren't as lenient with counting expenses against your business.  Timestamps 00:00 - The Decline of Chinese Sellers on Amazon 02:42 - Tax Regulations and Their Impact 05:54 - The Golden Tax System in China 09:03 - Panic Among Chinese Sellers 11:53 - The Shift to US LLCs 14:54 - The Reality of Seller Statistics As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.

    The Weekly News RundownThe episode opens with a fast-moving retail update. New DataWeave analytics reveal that Nike has raised prices significantly — by 17 percent for footwear and 14 percent for apparel — as tariff cost mounts, potentially disrupting their turnaround plans. Steve and Michael then examine the continuing U.S. government shutdown and its potential economic ripple effects. Despite flagging consumer confidence, September retail sales surged 5.4% year-over-year, led by sporting goods and apparel, while big-ticket categories such as furniture and home improvement stalled. They turn next to Adobe's holiday sales forecast, calling for 5.3 percent online growth — the slowest in years. AI-driven shopping, meanwhile, is expected to grow fivefold, underscoring how rapidly technology can reshape consumer behaviour.The Interview — Scot Wingo on Agentic CommerceReturning guest Scot Wingo brings a veteran entrepreneur's perspective on the next leap in retail innovation. Leveraging his ChannelAdvisor roots to his latest venture, ReFiBuy.ai, Wingo describes how AI agents are poised to reshape the shopping journey — from research, to finding, and buying — through "agentic commerce." He details how ChatGPT's new checkout feature effectively turns it into a merchant-friendly marketplace and why this could challenge Google and Amazon's ad-tax models. Wingo explains how Google is evolving from a search engine to an "answer engine," already costing retailers organic traffic, and outlines the steps brands must take to prepare their catalogues for AI-driven visibility. He also explores how personal-shopping agents and vertical AI start-ups in fashion and re-commerce are creating hyper-custom experiences, while warning retailers not to block "good bots" in their fear of AI scraping.Stories That Spread and A Peek Around the CornerIn their closing segment, Steve and Michael discuss some recent remarkable stories including the revival of brands like Bed Bath & Beyond, Toys "R" Us, and Forever 21, as well as Lululemon founder Chip Wilson's latest shot at his former company.

    Rene Federico, US Head of Marketing at Primark, joins Future Commerce to discuss the international retailer's first major marketing push in America after a decade of organic growth and physical retail expansion. Drawing on over 20 years at heritage brands like Nike and Converse, she shares insights on building brand relevance in a performance-obsessed era, translating the "joy of shopping" to different US markets, and why the customer should always be the hero of the story.Stat Chasers Never WinKey takeaways:Brand relevance makes you less interchangeable with competitors in the marketThe marketing funnel has collapsed—social media now operates across all stagesInnovation thrives under constraints; limited resources drive creative solutionsTrue brand equity isn't measured on a 30-day dashboard; free yourself from over-measuring creative campaignsCustomers deserve brands that enable participation, not just transactions[00:12:28] "You can stat chase or you can build strategies that help you win as a team. The outcomes will be different depending on your approach." – Rene Federico[00:33:06] "Consumers don't shop your org chart, they shop your brand. Business models don't shop—customers do." – Rene Federico[00:45:31] "When you get someone to buy something, that is an exertion of power.

    Activer des micro-communautés engagées avec authenticité - avec RedditDans cet épisode du Panier enregistré à Biarritz pendant le One to One Expérience Client 2025, j'ai eu le plaisir d'échanger avec Marion Gould, Senior Client Partner chez Reddit, en charge du développement de la plateforme sur les marchés français, italien, espagnol et portugais.Reddit est souvent perçu comme une plateforme de niche, très tech, très gaming. Mais les choses ont changé. Avec plus de 100 000 communautés et 100 millions d'utilisateurs actifs quotidiens, Reddit est devenu un levier de ciblage ultra-affinitaire pour les marques qui veulent s'adresser à des audiences très engagées.Voici les principaux enseignements de notre discussion :Un canal authentique, sans influenceurs payésReddit repose sur des principes communautaires très forts : pas d'influenceurs sponsorisés, pas de contenus surproduits. Les utilisateurs viennent pour échanger, débattre, apprendre. Ils lisent, écrivent, modèrent… ce qui rend la plateforme particulièrement crédible. Et exigeante.Des formats publicitaires natifs, utiles et intégrésMarion nous parle de plusieurs formats phares, comme les Freeform Ads (contenus longs rédigés par les marques), ou les Ask Me Anything, où une marque fait intervenir un expert qui répond en direct aux questions de la communauté. Des dispositifs conçus pour créer du lien, pas du push commercial.Le targeting Reddit : plus précis que le classique "centaines de milliers"Reddit permet un ciblage par centres d'intérêt, mots-clés ou subreddits (les fameuses communautés). Une approche idéale pour adresser des micro-communautés ultra-engagées. On y retrouve des audiences passionnées : jeunes parents, gamers, investisseurs, passionnés de luxe ou de mode… à condition d'en comprendre les codes.Adopter le bon ton grâce à l'IA RedditReddit propose aux marques un outil d'intelligence artificielle qui les aide à adapter leur langage aux communautés ciblées. Il ne s'agit pas de traduire du marketing en Reddit, mais de se fondre dans les échanges avec sincérité. Les équipes Reddit accompagnent chaque activation pour éviter les faux pas.⏱ Timecodes00:01:30 - Qu'est-ce que Reddit et comment fonctionne la plateforme ?00:03:20 - Des communautés engagées, sans système d'influenceurs00:05:45 - Les formats natifs : Freeform Ads, Ask Me Anything00:08:10 - Comment fonctionne le ciblage par communautés00:09:40 - L'IA Reddit pour adapter sa tonalité00:11:20 - Use cases, KPI et mesure de la performanceHébergé par Audiomeans.

Un échange passionnant sur les leviers de personnalisation à grande échelle, entre data, outils, équipes et… culture marketing.Avec plus de 240 marques (dont Absolut, Chivas, Ricard, Jameson, Havana…), réparties sur plus de 160 marchés, le groupe doit conjuguer puissance industrielle et finesse d'exécution locale. Le défi : orchestrer des campagnes personnalisées, cohérentes avec les plateformes, les données et les usages de chaque marché.3 axes clés de la stratégie Pernod Ricard :Industrialiser la personnalisation sans diluer la marquePierre-Antoine insiste sur un principe fort : chaque exécution locale doit rester fidèle à l'univers de marque. Pour y parvenir, le groupe met en place des frameworks, assets et guidelines globaux, tout en laissant de la liberté aux marchés. L'IA aide à produire vite, mais la relecture humaine reste clé pour garder la cohérence créative.Passer de la data à l'activation concrèteCollecter la donnée, c'est une chose. L'utiliser vraiment, en est une autre. Chez Pernod Ricard, la data est utilisée pour alimenter des campagnes cross-canal pilotées par un stack maison (CDP, adtech, automatisation…). Le modèle repose sur des centres de services régionaux, capables de piloter les activations pour plusieurs marques.Créer une culture du test & learn à grande échellePour Pierre-Antoine, le passage à l'échelle passe par l'expérimentation. L'équipe tech et marketing accompagne les marchés pour tester, apprendre, documenter… et diffuser les apprentissages.

Il accompagne des marques comme Polène, Cezane ou Maison 123 dans l'optimisation de leurs stratégies paid sur l'écosystème Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp...).On passe en revue les trois grandes priorités stratégiques de Meta pour 2025 :IA + Performance : améliorer le rendement des campagnesL'IA est au cœur des investissements chez Meta. Mathieu insiste sur les avancées concrètes dans les outils de ciblage, d'optimisation des budgets et d'automatisation des formats. Les algorithmes sont plus puissants, mais nécessitent une qualité de signal irréprochable, notamment via l'API Conversions. On parle aussi du retour des campagnes de type “broad targeting”, où c'est l'IA qui fait tout.Créativité : se démarquer dans un feed saturéLa créa est redevenue un élément central de la performance. Meta mise sur des outils comme Advantage+ Creative ou le Dynamic Creative pour adapter automatiquement les formats à chaque audience. Mathieu partage aussi l'exemple de Polène, qui s'appuie sur des visuels natifs, immersifs, et parfaitement adaptés à Instagram. Les meilleures campagnes combinent automatisation et travail éditorial.Diversification : élargir les cas d'usage et les points de contactAu-delà d'Instagram et Facebook, Meta pousse désormais WhatsApp comme canal relationnel et transactionnel. Il cite le cas de Maison 123, qui l'utilise pour du clienteling digital. Autre levier : l'omnicanalité, illustrée par la campagne de Bash, où les publicités Meta renvoient vers les magasins physiques. On évoque enfin les innovations comme Meta Connect ou les Ray-Ban Meta, qui annoncent une évolution plus immersive de la plateforme.
